TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, O. E. LOOMIB, of-Ellenburg, in the county of Clinton, and State of New York, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Soap; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same. v

The subject of this invention is a soap designed for washing purposes generally. It has been found a superior article for cleansing fabrics soiled with grease, and as a toilet-soap is desirable, by reason of the feet that it leaves the skin in a soft, smooth conditiong iind efi'ectually prevents chopping. It combines cheapness' with the above qualities, and, in fact; from the best data. at command, I feel justified in stating that its first cost, if not less than that of the common brown soap, does not exceed the same in the slightest degree.

In making my improved soap, I first slske, say, six pounds, of l i ngg in about ten gallons of elem The water is drawn of, and shout twelve pounds of sglscglsgre added thereto, together with twelve pounds of This mixture is boiled for one hour, more or less, and during the boiling process, two pounds (wists-rel], one pdund of gosgnsnd one pound of sgltpe tpe are added. After boiling, but while the mass is yet warm,

add one pint of sleiohoignd six pounds of v hite lgaolin The soap thus prepared continues to harden until it has assumed the desired state of iuduration, when it is prepared for use and sale in customary manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, snd'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A soap compounded of the ingredients and in the manner herein set forth.
